00:00:18.001 --> 00:00:02.001
[...]

00:00:02.001 --> 00:00:21.000
That's no way to answer the phone, Susie.

00:00:21.001 --> 00:00:23.001
Oh, Matthew's residence, this is Jimmy.

00:00:24.001 --> 00:00:25.001
Just a minute, please.

00:00:26.001 --> 00:00:28.001
Uncle Bill, Captain Adams wants to talk to you.

00:00:28.001 --> 00:00:31.000
Thanks, Jimmy. Hi, Captain, this is Bill.

00:00:32.001 --> 00:00:34.001
No,
we don't usually have ducks answered the phone.

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:36.000
That one belongs to Susie.

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.001
My niece and nephew are visiting me,
and I promise to take them on a picnic.

00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:43.001
Oh? You need that poster today.

00:00:43.001 --> 00:00:45.001
If it doesn't stop, there won't be anything.

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:47.000
No, we don't...

00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:48.000
Ah! Ah!

00:00:48.001 --> 00:00:50.000
Cracker likes it.

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:51.001
Yeah, it's great weather for ducks.

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:53.001
Oh, sure, glad to do it.

00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:55.000
Goodbye.

00:00:57.001 --> 00:00:59.001
Captain Adams wants this
poster I've done for him,

00:00:59.001 --> 00:01:01.000
delivered to him at police headquarters today.

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:03.001
I'll drop it off on our way to the park.

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:06.000
Good thing I got that phone call.

00:01:06.001 --> 00:01:09.000
If he hadn't reached me,
I wouldn't have gotten it to him on time.

00:01:09.001 --> 00:01:11.000
I never thought about that, Uncle Bill.

00:01:11.001 --> 00:01:12.001
You never thought about what?

00:01:13.001 --> 00:01:16.000
What did people do before
the telephone was invented?

00:01:16.001 --> 00:01:18.001
How did they get messages
to each other in a hurry?

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:25.000
Well, while we're waiting for the rain to stop,
let's see if we can find out

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:26.001
by playing make-believe.

00:01:26.001 --> 00:01:29.000
Oh, good. That sounds like fun.

00:01:29.001 --> 00:01:33.000
Now...

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.001
Here's our friend.

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:43.000
We'll call him, uh...

00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:43.001
Mr. Man.

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:48.001
He's going to take us back thousands of years,
way before telephones or

00:01:48.001 --> 00:01:51.000
televisions or Telstar.

00:01:52.001 --> 00:01:54.001
He looks a little like you, Uncle Bill.

00:01:55.001 --> 00:01:57.000
He looks a little like all of us, Jimmy.

00:01:58.000 --> 00:01:59.000
Ready, Mr. Man?

00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.001
Man has played many parts during
the years he has lived on Earth.

00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.000
So let's make-believe we're going back in time.

00:02:07.001 --> 00:02:10.001
Thousands and thousands and
thousands of years ago?

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:11.001
That's right.

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:16.000
When man lived in caves
and hunted for their food.

00:02:17.001 --> 00:02:20.000
Found a herd of buffalo.

00:02:20.001 --> 00:02:21.000
At last.

00:02:21.001 --> 00:02:22.001
Meet for supper.

00:02:23.001 --> 00:02:28.001
Run and tell the others to bring
weapons or else supper will run away.

00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:33.001
The only way Mr. Caveman knew how
to get a message from one place to

00:02:33.001 --> 00:02:35.000
another was to send a runner.

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.001
As civilization grew,
man's way of life changed.

00:02:40.001 --> 00:02:43.001
But he still used runners to send messages.

00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:45.000
The Egyptians used runners.

00:02:46.001 --> 00:02:51.000
It took two days for a Greek runner
to bring the news of a great victory.

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:53.000
He is getting tired.

00:02:56.001 --> 00:02:58.001
He discovered he could ride horses.

00:03:01.001 --> 00:03:05.001
The Romans used horses.

00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:10.000
So did the knights.

00:03:15.001 --> 00:03:17.001
That's the Phoniex press rider.

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:18.000
That's right.

00:03:19.001 --> 00:03:24.000
But man wanted to send messages faster
than a runner or horse could travel.

00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:34.000
He's sending an Indian smoke signal.

00:03:34.001 --> 00:03:34.001
Right.

00:03:35.001 --> 00:03:38.000
But only the simplest messages
could be sent this way.

00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:40.000
And none at all of us [...]

00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:40.001
Well, if it rained.

00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.000
He learned to use flashing
mirrors by daylight and blinking

00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:50.001
lights when it was dark.

00:03:51.001 --> 00:03:53.001
He couldn't send messages very far that way,
could he?

00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:55.000
No, Jimmy, he couldn't.

00:03:55.001 --> 00:03:59.000
But man has always been able to solve
his problems by inventing new things.

00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:00.001
That's a telegraph message.

00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:01.000
Yes.

00:04:01.001 --> 00:04:07.000
About 125 years ago, Samuel Morris
invented the telegraph, a way to send code

00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:09.000
messages over an electric wire.

00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:14.000
The code was made by using different
clicks for each letter of the alphabet.

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:21.001
First message sent over 40 miles of wire was,
What hath God wrought?

00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:25.001
The telegraph was, and still is, wonderful.

00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.000
But Mr. Mann wanted to send
his voice over a distance to

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:31.001
carry on a real conversation.

00:04:32.001 --> 00:04:37.001
Then in 1876,
a man named Alexander Graham Bell found a way.

00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:39.001
He invented the telephone.

00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:43.000
Hey, that's your phone, Uncle Bell.

00:04:45.001 --> 00:04:47.001
Hello, Matthews residence. This is Jimmy.

00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:48.001
[...]

00:04:48.001 --> 00:04:49.000
Hi, Mom.

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:51.001
Yes, we got here before the rain started.

00:04:52.001 --> 00:04:55.000
Uncle Bill's gonna take us
on a picnic if it lets up.

00:04:55.001 --> 00:04:56.001
We're playing make-believe.

00:04:57.001 --> 00:04:58.001
I'll tell you about it when we get home.

00:04:59.000 --> 00:04:59.000
Good.

00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:00.000
Okay, Mom. Bye.

00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:03.000
What are you doing, Susie?

00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:06.000
She wanted to hear the voice
going through the wire.

00:05:07.001 --> 00:05:09.001
You can't hear voices in the wire.

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:11.000
Well, how does it work?

00:05:11.001 --> 00:05:13.000
How'd your mother's voice get in the phone?

00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.001
That's simple. It...

00:05:16.001 --> 00:05:18.001
That's funny. I don't know.

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:22.000
I never thought about it before.

00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:25.001
We were talking as if we were in the same room.

00:05:26.001 --> 00:05:29.000
How does the telephone work, Uncle Bill?

00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:33.000
No, not magic, Susie, but science.

00:05:33.001 --> 00:05:35.001
Science of sound waves and electricity.

00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:37.000
How do they work?

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.000
We'll let Mr. Mann show us.

00:05:42.001 --> 00:05:49.000
We'll

00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:50.001
pretend now he's a musician.

00:05:51.001 --> 00:05:56.000
All sounds come from a movement of the air,
back and forth, like waves.

00:05:56.001 --> 00:05:57.001
I don't see any waves.

00:05:59.001 --> 00:06:01.000
See the string move back and forth?

00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:05.001
I have seen strings and rubber
bands move back and forth.

00:06:05.001 --> 00:06:07.001
But I've never seen a sound wave.

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:09.001
Well, you can't really see them. You hear them.

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:11.001
But if you could see them,
they'd look like this.

00:06:13.001 --> 00:06:17.001
Different kinds of sounds make
different kinds of sound waves.

00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:25.000
A low sound makes a different
wave than a high sound.

00:06:28.001 --> 00:06:34.001
Hey, Rudolph! That's the wrong note!

00:06:35.001 --> 00:06:39.000
You see, people's voices make sound waves too.

00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:44.001
When we speak, air from our lungs moves
vocal cords like these in our throats.

00:06:46.001 --> 00:06:47.000
Hey, Rudolph!

00:06:47.001 --> 00:06:52.000
This movement makes sound waves
and sends them out of our mouths.

00:06:53.001 --> 00:06:55.000
Hey! Hey!

00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:00.001
When sound waves reach the ear of another
person, they make the drum in his ear

00:07:00.001 --> 00:07:04.000
move back and forth, and he hears the
sound the other person is making.

00:07:04.001 --> 00:07:07.001
I see. But how do you hear over the telephone?

00:07:07.001 --> 00:07:08.001
We're coming to that.

00:07:10.001 --> 00:07:14.000
When Mr. Mann speaks into the telephone,
the flow of electricity in the wires

00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:18.000
makes it possible for the other person
to hear what Mr. Mann is saying, just

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:19.001
as quick as a flash.

00:07:20.001 --> 00:07:23.000
But how?

00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:27.001
Well, when he has dialed his friend,
and his friend Rudolph answers, the flow of

00:07:27.001 --> 00:07:31.000
electricity in the wires connects Mr.
Mann's telephone through the telephone

00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:34.000
building to his friend's phone.

00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:35.001
Oh! Rudolph!

00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:39.001
Mr.
Mann's vocal cords make sound waves which go

00:07:39.001 --> 00:07:41.000
into the mouthpiece of the telephone.

00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:48.000
These sound waves make the electricity
flow stronger and weaker, depending on the

00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:50.000
sound waves his voice makes.

00:07:50.001 --> 00:07:57.001
Remember now that the flow of electricity
is changing from strong to weak, as it

00:07:57.001 --> 00:07:59.000
comes from Mr. Mann's telephone.

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:05.000
These changes work on the receiver very
much the way sound works on your eardrum.

00:08:05.001 --> 00:08:08.001
The electricity makes a
little metal plate vibrate.

00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:14.001
This vibration makes sound waves come
out of the receiver, and so, in a split

00:08:14.001 --> 00:08:20.000
second, the person on the other end of
the line hears the same words Mr. Mann is

00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:25.000
speaking, and what he hears sounds
just like Mr. Mann's voice.

00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:30.001
Rudolph! I said that's the wrong note!

00:08:38.001 --> 00:08:41.001
Ah, Susie,
you shouldn't play around with the telephone.

00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:44.000
Somebody may be trying to...

00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:46.001
See? Somebody was trying to call us.

00:08:47.001 --> 00:08:48.000
Yo, Matthews.

00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:53.000
Would you repeat that slowly, sir?

00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:56.000
Well, you must have the wrong number.

00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:57.001
What number are you calling?

00:08:59.001 --> 00:09:01.000
Well, not so loud!

00:09:01.001 --> 00:09:02.000
[...] I'm sorry.

00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:33.000
Susie, doesn't [...] Mr.
Mann can be the ringmaster.

00:09:33.001 --> 00:09:34.001
Sounds like fun.

00:09:36.001 --> 00:09:37.000
There we are.

00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:38.001
May I draw a swipe?

00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:39.001
Sure.

00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:47.001
Whiskers?

00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:48.001
Here.

00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:57.000
All set, Mr. Mann?

00:09:59.001 --> 00:10:06.001
Ladies and gentlemen,
presenting the greatest, the most sound

00:10:06.001 --> 00:10:11.001
-sational talking animal act
the world has ever heard.

00:10:12.001 --> 00:10:17.000
Introducing the lion and the minibird.

00:10:18.001 --> 00:10:22.001
Miss Myrtle Minibird speaking.

00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:27.001
How are you?

00:10:30.001 --> 00:10:33.000
Please don't roar at me.

00:10:33.001 --> 00:10:35.000
What did the lion do wrong, Jimmy?

00:10:35.001 --> 00:10:38.000
You don't have to shout into
the telephone to be heard.

00:10:38.001 --> 00:10:39.000
That's right.

00:10:39.001 --> 00:10:44.000
Just use your normal speaking voice and
speak directly into the mouthpiece.

00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.001
I'm sorry, Myrtle.

00:10:51.001 --> 00:10:55.001
Presenting the impatient
squirrel and the sleepy bear.

00:10:56.001 --> 00:10:57.000
Watch, Jimmy.

00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.000
When you dial,
you should make sure you bring your finger all

00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:02.001
the way around to the finger stop.

00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:07.001
Then for each number,
let the dial go all the way back by itself.

00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.001
Each number, all the way.

00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.000
Then let go. See?

00:11:13.001 --> 00:11:42.000
Yes, sir. ball Blow

00:11:47.001 --> 00:11:53.000
Blow Now I wonder who that was

00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:59.000
Yeah He waited too long Right

00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:01.000
He waited too long to answer

00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.001
But if you're the person making the call

00:12:03.001 --> 00:12:06.001
You should let the phone ring 8 to 10 times

00:12:06.001 --> 00:12:09.001
See? Both of them are disappointed

00:12:09.001 --> 00:12:14.000
And now, the preposterous packarders

00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:17.000
Seems, in other words, elephants

00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:21.000
So like I said

00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:27.001
I wanted to invite you to a party Smarty?

00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:30.000
Who are you calling a smarty?

00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:37.000
No, no, I said I'm giving a party At Mouse

00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:41.001
Mouse? Don't you call me a mouse?

00:12:42.001 --> 00:12:44.000
What is the matter, Jimmy?

00:12:45.001 --> 00:12:46.000
Hello?

00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:50.000
I know.
It's important to speak clearly on the phone

00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.001
So the other person can
understand what you're saying

00:12:52.001 --> 00:12:54.000
Right again, Jimmy

00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:57.001
And now, for our grand finale

00:12:57.001 --> 00:13:03.001
The gossipy biggie and the fed up fox Well,
guess

00:13:03.001 --> 00:13:05.000
who was there? Betty?

00:13:05.001 --> 00:13:10.000
So I said to her, well,
how is it every time I go to a sale

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:13.000
I run into you. It's just the funniest thing

00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:16.000
Excuse me, lady

00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.001
But I've been waiting to make an
important call for 25 minutes

00:13:20.001 --> 00:13:24.000
But I simply must tell Irma about my new hat

00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:27.001
Well, now,
as I was saying before I was interrupted

00:13:27.001 --> 00:13:30.001
It's selfish and impolite to hog the phone

00:13:30.001 --> 00:13:33.000
Somebody may be waiting to use it

00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:35.000
Or trying to call your house

00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:37.000
See, that was fun

00:13:37.001 --> 00:13:40.000
I hope nobody's being selfish on Bobby's phone

00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:42.001
I'll call him to see if
he's coming on the picnic

00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:07.000
[...]

00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:08.000
The telephone book is very helpful

00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:10.001
Our friends are in it, like Robert Martin

00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:12.000
Our doctor is in it

00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:15.000
The television repairman, the bicycle shop

00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.001
Then in this little book I write down
the numbers of people I call often

00:14:18.001 --> 00:14:20.001
You should have one too, Jimmy

00:14:20.001 --> 00:14:23.001
It saves a lot of time to keep the
phone numbers of people you call often

00:14:23.001 --> 00:14:25.000
Like your friend Bobby

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:25.001
Oh, yes

00:14:25.001 --> 00:14:27.001
Hey, look, the sun's out

00:14:27.001 --> 00:14:30.001
Now we can go on our picnic Hooray!

00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:35.001
I'll try to call Bobby again Well,
tell him to meet us in front of the police

00:14:35.001 --> 00:14:39.000
station at 2.30 That way we can drop
off the poster for Captain Adams

00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:04.000
All right Hello, Mrs. Martin This is Jimmy
Matthews May I please speak to Bobby?

00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:12.000
Thank you Hi, Bobby Listen, we'll meet you
in front of the police station at 2.30

00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.001
Don't forget to bring your ball and glove

00:15:14.001 --> 00:15:25.000
Hi, Tom

00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:26.000
Hi there

00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:28.000
Children, this is Captain Adams

00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:30.000
Hello, Captain Adams How are you today?

00:15:30.001 --> 00:15:36.001
Fine I want to be a policeman when I go
off She wants to be everything when she

00:15:36.001 --> 00:15:42.000
grows up Here's the emergency poster you
wanted Thanks I think Jimmy and Susie

00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:46.000
would like to know how valuable the
telephone is in emergencies Good You come

00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:49.001
inside for a minute and I'll show you

00:15:49.001 --> 00:15:56.001
Now, the telephone helps us because

00:15:56.001 --> 00:16:00.001
it lets us know right away when we're
needed And how, when, and where we can help

00:16:00.001 --> 00:16:03.000
people How would I call the
place if I needed them?

00:16:03.001 --> 00:16:05.001
This poster your uncle made will show you how

00:16:09.001 --> 00:16:14.001
We want to use this to show children how
to get help In an emergency, you dial

00:16:14.001 --> 00:16:21.001
zero to get the telephone
operator Be sure you hear the

00:16:21.001 --> 00:16:23.001
dial tone first, remember?

00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:25.000
Yes, sir

00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:29.000
A zero is the last hole on the dial

00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:31.000
Now, see

00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:35.000
Be sure you bring the dial all
the way around to the stop

00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:38.000
Then remove your finger
and let the dial go back

00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:42.001
You dial zero once and the
operator will answer Then what?

00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:44.001
Then you say I want a policeman, please

00:16:44.001 --> 00:16:47.000
And the operator will connect
you with the police station

00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:53.000
Now,
when somebody like the sergeant here answers

00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:58.001
You tell him who you are, where you are,
and why you're calling the police

00:16:58.001 --> 00:17:02.000
Police station, Sergeant Evers

00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:03.000
I did this last

00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:06.000
Oh, that's too bad May I have
your name and address, please?

00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:13.000
Mrs. Jane Hoskins Mm-hmm 42 Bart And
your phone number? 5-5-5-1-0-2-9

00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:14.001
How old is Linda?

00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:18.001
Five Five Yes Where did you see her last?

00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:22.000
In our front yard And how
long has she been missing?

00:17:22.001 --> 00:17:24.000
Half hour And what was she wearing?

00:17:24.001 --> 00:17:30.000
A sort of strawberry-themed dress and a
yellow cotton sweater A pink dress and a

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:32.000
yellow sweater, hmm?

00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:32.001
Yes, sir

00:17:32.001 --> 00:17:35.000
All right, Mrs. Hoskins, don't worry

00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:37.001
We'll find her and let
you know as soon as we do

00:17:37.001 --> 00:17:38.000
Oh, hurry

00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:45.000
Yes, ma'am Goodbye Thanks,
Sergeant You see how careful

00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:46.001
we are to write everything down?

00:17:47.001 --> 00:17:49.000
Pardon me

00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:53.000
Yes, sir

00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:54.001
Get out on all points bulletin

00:17:54.001 --> 00:17:57.000
Five-year-old girl lost

00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:59.001
Linda Hoskins

00:18:00.001 --> 00:18:02.001
Last seen on Elm Street

00:18:02.001 --> 00:18:05.000
Here's a description

00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:12.000
Sarge, this is Officer Jensen,
6th and Elm Street

00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:15.000
That's what I'm calling you about

00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:20.000
She was all alone,
looking in a toy store window

00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:23.000
Oh, sure, she's fine

00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:24.001
Good work, Officer Jensen

00:18:24.001 --> 00:18:28.000
We'll have a car to pick her up right away See

00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:29.001
how the telephone helps us do our job?

00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:32.001
Call Mrs.
Hoskins until we found her little girl

00:18:32.001 --> 00:18:35.001
Over here at the window,
I want to show you something

00:18:35.001 --> 00:18:46.000
There it is, the telephone building

00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:49.001
In many ways, it ties the community together

00:18:49.001 --> 00:18:53.001
When you dial a number,
this equipment inside the telephone building

00:18:53.001 --> 00:18:57.001
automatically connects you with the person
you're calling Whether he's across the

00:18:57.001 --> 00:19:02.001
street or miles and miles away Thousands
and thousands of calls go through here

00:19:02.001 --> 00:19:08.001
every day This is Riley's dairy,
we need 50 pounds of butter 50 pounds of butter

00:19:08.001 --> 00:19:15.001
And one crate of large eggs We'll deliver
it today This is Mrs. Lee, Doctor When

00:19:15.001 --> 00:19:17.001

Listen, Jess, they just called, they

00:19:49.001 --> 00:19:55.000
want three more cartons of soap Okay,
Carl But telephone service wouldn't be

00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:58.000
complete without people to handle
special calls and emergencies

00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:01.000
Let's hear what the operators are saying

00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:04.000
Mr. Hanson, please, long distance calling

00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:09.000
I'm sorry, the line is busy,
I'll keep trying and call you

00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:12.000
Mr. Marko, I'm ready on your call to Honolulu

00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:15.000
I'll connect you with the fire department

00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:20.000
On your call to Sunnyside, Mr.
McCarthy will be back in an hour

00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:24.001
Will you talk with anyone else? Thank you

00:20:24.001 --> 00:20:31.001
The fire department needs

00:20:31.001 --> 00:20:33.000
the telephone as much as we do

00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:34.000
I'm sure of that

00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:36.000
Well, thanks a lot, Captain

00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:38.000
Not at all, thank you for bringing the poster

00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:44.001
Have fun, everyone Goodbye It's after 2.30

00:20:44.001 --> 00:20:48.000
I wonder where Bobby is I'm
sure he'll be here soon

00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:56.000
Like Quacker Jet plane flies a lot
higher and faster than Quacker Can

00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:58.000
telephones reach up into the sky?

00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:02.001
They can and they do, and even more
amazing Men are working with communication

00:21:02.001 --> 00:21:07.001
satellites that orbit the Earth These
satellites can carry telephone messages and

00:21:07.001 --> 00:21:10.001
television pictures to and from
many different parts of the

00:21:10.001 --> 00:21:12.000
world And outer space?

00:21:12.001 --> 00:21:19.001
Yes, Jimmy, outer space too Land himself
has entered space All systems go

00:21:19.001 --> 00:21:26.000
A-OK Why, it's Mr.
Ma'am Yes And just think, Jimmy and Susie

00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:30.001
Someday in the future you may pick up a
telephone and soon be talking with your

00:21:30.001 --> 00:21:36.001
friend even if he's on the moon When do we go,
Uncle Bill?

00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:37.001
Pretty soon

00:21:37.001 --> 00:21:40.000
Hey, Jimmy! Here he comes

00:21:46.001 --> 00:21:47.001
Sorry I'm late, Jimmy

00:21:47.001 --> 00:21:49.000
I couldn't find my cloth

00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:50.001
That's okay, Bobby

00:21:50.001 --> 00:21:51.001
Let's go
